Today I woke to dozens of emails from panicked readers wondering if Ginger Meggs had been replaced by Hagar the Horrible in all of the major metro daily News Ltd papers around Australia.

Upon contacting the News Ltd HQ, I was told it was an error made by Pagemasters, the company that lays out all of the shared pages for newspapers these days. (Such is the way centralised production has gone in the last decade due to cost restrictions.)

Rest assured, Meggsie fans, Ginge is alive and well, and will look less Hagared in the morning!

The amazing team at GoComics have re-built their website, so you can not only read new adventures of Ginger Meggs every day, but you can also go all the way back to the beginning of their time syndicating the strip. They also have added bonus content, special features and bio information.

My solo show is tomorrow night. I'm nervous about it. I haven't performed it in over 5 years, and watching back over the recording I realised 3 things:

1. I used to speak really, really fast on stage. One might call it gabbling.2. I need to draw more on stage. (My notes say "Less talky, more scribbly")3. I have way more grey hair now than when I first did this show. I hope the material translates into 'old'.

If you're still umm-ing and aww-ing about coming, it's probably not for you. But if you want to come, I'd love you to grab a ticket below and come along tomorrow night to watch the show. It's a story I always get asked about and have trouble telling -for several reasons of which become apparent in the show.

Serendipitously enough, that same paper in Melbourne ran a feature on my doing Ginger Meggs today (Clipping generously sent by my Melbourne family. Thanks, Chris!). I'm not in love with the clickbaity headline, but I guess you can't write your own press. At least they used a good picture of me...
